Earthdance Florida 2015: the music schedule. Don’t plan on sleeping!
If you want a completely overwhelming experience, just look at the music schedule on the two stages at this weekend’s Earthdance Florida celebration at the Maddox Ranch (Lakeland). You can identify about eight (8) total hours when there is no music scheduled from the festival’s start on Thursday at 6 PM and its coda on Sunday at 4 PM. If the math is correct, that would be about 62 hours of music, most often on both the Lotus Temple stage and Gateway to Eternity stage simultaneously.
Perhaps you could mainline caffeine.
Or start checking the schedule now to try to figure out when you want to catch 40 winks.
THURSDAY
Wezooga has the honor of opening the festival at 6 PM.
Lucky Costello (Jacksonville) will host an all-out dance party. That’s exactly what they did at Reunion: Campout Concert Series in August.

FRIDAY
